Hidden microphone noise suppression added (voice_webrtc_apm), off by default

The October 22 update's notes only cover map scripting, but the game files added WebRTC microphone processing (noise suppression, echo cancellation, gain control, high-pass filter). It is off by default, not in the settings menu, and is turned on in the console with voice_in_process 1 and voice_webrtc_apm 1.

Unreleased M14 rifle entry removed from the game files

The M14 rifle entry that appeared in the game files on September 22 was removed from scripts/weapons.vdata in the October 22 update. The rifle was never released or announced in patch notes, so this says nothing certain about Valve's plans.
